Mark did not insist and waved his hand towards the camera, “Good night.”
Arianne clutched virtual-novel.net chest as the call ended. She could feel virtual-novel.net heart beating wildly against virtual-novel.net chest. She had initially thought that virtual-novel.net wasn’t boy-crazy in any way and would not be bowled over by his magnetic voice or that face that virtual-novel.net had been staring at for more than ten years. Had virtual-novel.net gone mad?
In Mark’s opinion, every time they spoke, they had grown a step closer to one another. It assured virtual-novel.net too. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to go to bed, his phone rang again — it was a call from Charles Moran.
This man who had a good relationship with his father would never contact virtual-novel.net for no good reason. The first time they met up after his return to the country was for Charles ask virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net was aware of his father’s b*stard… He frowned and picked up the call, “Hello? Uncle Moran.”
Charles answered him, “Mark, I’ve heard that things between you and Arianne are a little delicate now. I was momentarily distracted and lost sight of Nia. I’m sure she’ll be visiting you soon… Please excuse her. You know how virtual-novel.net feels about you… I know that it’s impossible between you two, so please send virtual-novel.net back. She’s out of control.”
Mark felt a headache coming on. Did everyone know about his separation with Arianne? Nina certainly knew when to pick a time. He wasn’t in the right mindset to deal with virtual-novel.net right now. He paused for a moment and said, “Got it. Don’t worry, Uncle Moran.”
Charles did not end the call. Instead, virtual-novel.net fell momentarily silent before carefully asking, “Ethan… Do you know where he’s gone off to?”
Everyone had unspoken knowledge of the situation. All there was left was to piece through the last proverbial paper window. At the end of the day, Charles Moran would always be on his father’s side. Did virtual-novel.net plan on protecting Ethan? It was too late.
Mark’s tone grew colder, “Uncle Moran, my father only sent you a letter informing you of his ba*tard. There’s no need for you to concern yourself with that. Ethan… has disappeared from the face of this earth. Do you understand me? This is an affair concerning the Tremont family. Can’t you stay out of it?”
Charles stayed silent for a moment, then spoke, “Since that’s the case, I should keep my opinions to myself… You’re aware of my relationship with your father. I’ll have to fulfill my promise to complete the task that he’s given me somehow. I’m not on Ethan’s side, please don’t hate me… I’m sorry for disturbing you at this hour. I’ve nothing more to say now. Goodbye.”
After ending the call, Charles tried to call Nina, all the while trembling. Unsurprisingly, virtual-novel.net phone was still off. His blood pressure spiked again. He typed out a message and sent it to her: ‘Nia, you’d better come back You cannot manage a man like Mark. He’s very dangerous. Don’t go anywhere near him. Why won’t you listen to me?’
Of course, virtual-novel.net would not receive a response. It made a half-a-century old man like virtual-novel.net worry incessantly. He sent instructions to his assistant to book plane tickets back to the country. He had to bring Nina back to virtual-novel.net personally. Mark was a terrible and ruthless being in his eyes. He was also afraid that Mark might hold a grudge against virtual-novel.net and rain terror upon him. It was never a good idea to cross a Tremont.
The next morning, as Mark walked downstairs, virtual-novel.net heard Nina’s voice calling out to virtual-novel.net from the dining room, which should have been cold and empty, “Mark, come downstairs and have breakfast.”
He paused. Nina moved faster than virtual-novel.net had expected, “What are you doing here? Didn’t your dad call you? He contacted me last night and asked me to bring you home.”
Nina was unperturbed, “He doesn’t want me to see you, but I don’t plan on answering his calls either. You don’t seem too happy to see me at all. I’m so disappointed…”
Mark walked towards the dining table and sat down, carrying a calm expression on his face, “Sometimes… it’s better to listen to our elders. I’m going away on business for the next few days. I won’t have time for you. Go home.”
Nina narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes, “You couldn’t be going over to see Arianne, could you? To be honest, I just arrived from visiting her. She said that virtual-novel.net doesn’t mind if I pursue you. It’d be best ifI could make you relent and divorce her. She said that. What do I have to worry about?”
Mark frowned and replied with a poker face, “She and I will never divorce. She will return to Tremont Estate within a year, at most. She is the only one who can ever be the mistress of Tremont Estate. Have I made myself clear?”
Nina still seemed nonchalant and focused o n virtual-novel.net breakfast, “Nope. Not at all.”
Mark did not bother to say anything more. He went back to his room after breakfast to change his clothes. He still had some things to take care of in the office and could not be bothered to waste his time on a woman whom virtual-novel.net had no intentions of spending his future with.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to take off his pajamas, the bedroom door burst open. Nina strolled right in in a nonchalant manner, “I’m exhausted from being constantly on the move. I went to visit Arianne immediately after coming back into the country, then came straight here to see you. I never got a chance to sleep. Your room is still most comfortable. Are you going to the office? I’ll take a nap then. By the way, nice bod…” Then, virtual-novel.net naturally lay down on Mark’s bed.
An unpleasant glint flashed across Mark’s eyes. He quickly headed into the walk-in closet, “If you plan on staying for the time being, please sleep in the guest room. I don’t like having strangers in my room and sleeping on my bed. Don’t make me throw you out.”
